Acting on Air Quality: Open Data for Greater Impact (Climate TRACE x OpenAQ)
RSVP deadline is September 19 (Friday) at 3 PM. Registrations after this time are not guaranteed admission.
Air pollution is the leading environmental cause of mortality, resulting in over 8 million deaths worldwide, and shortening the average person’s lifespan by 1.8 years. Climate change and air quality are inextricably linked; many of the drivers of air pollution are also sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, air pollution action also means climate action.
This event is designed to educate attendees on accessing open data and tools available for tracking climate and air quality data from Climate TRACE and OpenAQ, respectively. Members of Climate TRACE and OpenAQ user communities will also share their stories and use cases. Each session will be followed by a Q&A period, allowing for direct engagement with the presenters. The event will also have open networking sessions, providing an opportunity for attendees to connect and share insights.
Light refreshments will be provided. Space is limited.
This event is kindly hosted by our partner Splunk, a Cisco company.
